“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”


About: I grew up with animals on a farm and have always had a dog or cat in my home. We love our pets and treat them as family. I am home most of the day so providing one on one are won’t be a problem! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home everyday of the week and can make frequent trips if needed. I offer same day cancellation but do need a couple days notice to make sure I am not out of town. My dog is walked twice a day everyday and we have a fenced backyard. We also have cats that have free time of the house and outside and are very friendly with our dog. Our dog has a bed in just about every room and is allowed to get on one of our couches (however often tries sneaking onto the other one).

“Morgan was a great sitter and went above and beyond my expectations. She was very communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures too. She was respectful of my home and dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Donna was fantastic! She communicated well and was considerate of my pets needs. And most importantly, they were comfortable with her! Usually they don’t come out to say hello but they did with Donna after only a day. I will definitely be booking her again to check in on my babes.”

About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I myself was a kid, and I’ve cared for a multitude of dogs, kids, and houses. I began watching my cousins, my cousins dogs, their house, etc. and as time went on I eventually cared for my neighbors dogs and house(s), neighbors friend’s dogs, as well as people I’ve been recommended to. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for older dogs, as well as dogs with strict dietary restrictions and medications too :) I’m currently working part-time, as well as part-time online schooling, so most of my days can be spent with the pets! My shifts vary from 4 to 8 hours, however, I typically work 3-4 days a week. Anytime I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with the most respect possible and ensure that I leave the house as tidy as it was when I arrived. As for children and pets, I’m very observational and empathetic, so I do whatever I can to keep everyone in my care as happy and healthy as possible. I generally try to know where the nearest animal hospital/veterinarian as well as emergency centers are for every area I’m in, because I also like to be overly cautious.

I'm available almost every day of the week, most hours of the day to take care of your pups, kitties, and others. I carefully take note of your individual animal's needs and lifestyle according to you, the owner, as well as rely on my knowledge and previous experience to keep your pets safe from dangerous situations, such as toxic foods or cars.

About: I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to provide patient, individualized care. I was first exposed to animals through personal experience, having had my fair share of dogs, cats, and even birds– and have provided plenty of care to the pets of personal friends and family friends. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, including senior pets who may need a calmer environment, extra patience, or medication reminders. I also understand the importance of communication and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. El cuidado de mascotas encaja muy bien en mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me organizo para cumplir con los horarios de alimentación, paseos, juegos y visitas según las necesidades de cada mascota. Soy flexible y comprometida, y me aseguro de brindar atención constante y de calidad durante cada visita o servicio. Me tomo muy en serio la seguridad y el bienestar de las mascotas. Sigo cuidadosamente las instrucciones del dueño, incluyendo rutinas, alimentación y cualquier indicación especial. Mantengo los espacios limpios, ordenados y seguros, y siempre estoy atenta a las señales de estrés o incomodidad de la mascota.
About: Currently 8 months pregnant and I am a stay at home mom. In the process of moving so I don’t have a backyard until end of June but can’t wait to be able to offer that space for dogs in the future!! I love to help and can do a feeding and some light grooming if needed! My 4 year old is always with me so I can only host a dog that is good with children and not aggressive. I’m a stay at home mom so I can provide a lot of potty breaks and attention to your pets! I have a 4 year old daughter that loves cats and dogs and has lots of energy so adding an animal to our routine is very easy. I’m always very respectful of your place. I know the trust that must be involved to let someone into your home and I don’t want to ruin that trust!

“Nancy (Annie) was AMAZING! Truly made our trip enjoyable in that we didn’t have to worry about our three older pups. She understood their special needs, communicated frequent photo and video updates, and was very thoughtful with our babies and our space. I’d feel lucky if she were available to care for our dogs when we travel next.”

Donna is a fantastic pet sitter and friend to animals! She helped me pill my cat Lucy, who is notoriously uncooperative when it comes to taking her medicine. For the first time in Lucy's life, we managed to get a pill down her throat. Goodbye, tapeworms, yaaay! Thank you so much, Donna!

STOP SCROLLING! We’ve had numerous sitters for our three (somewhat challenging/unique) dogs over the past decade+, and Annie (Nancy) is easily the best. Beyond being responsive to outreach and thorough with updates, she is unbelievably kind and well-suited for caring for others’ pets. Our dogs adore her, and she is the first sitter with whom I have felt 100% comfortable regarding one of our dog’s special history/needs. Annie is a good listener and a responsible steward—the type of sitter to charge an exceedingly reasonable amount and then show up for extra long visits with her own treats for the pups in hand. She clearly has a true love of animals, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Do your pets (and your peace of mind) a favor and book Annie!

Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!
